Eclectic Therapy

Using an eclectic approach means that, based on your specific experiences and needs, I will use a range of therapeutic theories and methods to assist you in reaching your goals. I use various evidence-based techniques that are customized to your unique situation. Eclectic therapy is flexible, and allows me to offer different modalities to fit an individual's changing needs or problems.

Eclectic therapy is an approach that allows the therapist to use different methods to cater to the client's individual needs. While addressing the client's needs, the therapist, when needed, will utilize multiple theoretical orientations to help maximize the client's potential to gain insights by drawing upon different forms of learning. I believe the flexibility in eclectic therapy enables the therapist-client relationship to develop a treatment plan best suited for the client.

I consider myself the anti-magician of therapy. Early on I will help you define goals and come back with a menu of recommended, research based treatment options. WE will collaborate on what your treatment will look like and I will let you know all the 'tricks' I use and why. Our time together will be custom fit to you, your goals, and your needs.

Through a flexible and collaborative process, I draw on various theoretical orientations, such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic, to tailor interventions to individual preferences and presenting concerns. My adaptable approach allows me to combine techniques from different modalities to address cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of clients' experiences. By incorporating a range of therapeutic tools, I aim to provide a holistic approach to mental wellbeing.

My eclectic approach allows my work with you to be fully present just for you. I don't use any one-size-fit-all plan or orientation, and can tailor our work together to meet your needs and the best application for your life.

Taking from the DBT concept of "do what works", my approach is very eclectic. I tend to use a variety of different approaches when working with clients. For me there are no "one fits all" therapies. Each client is unique and my goal is to find the approach that works for you. Approaches that I tend to favor include CBT, DBT, attachment based, mindfulness-based, IFS, recovery/12-step concepts, ACT and trauma-informed approaches. My goal is to find the approach that works for you.

My approach draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It is a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy that allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs.

I am trained in multiple modalities to help you as there is no one right modality. I pull from multiple techniques to meet you where you are. Here-and-now approaches that focus on the present manifestations of symptoms are extremely helpful. Solution-focused therapies can be the best choice depending on what you're experiencing. Similarly, therapies that connect the past to the present in a here-and-now way can provide healing for many people and help you with future dilemmas.

I use multiple therapeutic approaches in my therapy practice. I pull from theoretical orientations like cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, person-centered therapy, and more. I believe that no one approach is perfect and that each person requires a unique treatment plan.

I focus primarily on building my relationship with my clients and then sharing therapeutic tools as they become relevant. Studies have shown that the biggest indicator of positive change for clients is the quality of relationship they feel they have with their therapist, so this is my anchor. The principles of building relationship that I strive to embody are authenticity, compassion, and creation of a collaborative relationship that focuses on the client needs.

Just as my work in the addiction field is anything but typical, my work around nearly every other issue that I work on with clients is also approached from a very client centered place. I believe my responsibility to you is to hold space, be present and share with you what science & experience have taught us. The growing awareness is sometimes tough to sit with but you'll have company as you get comfortable with the new information you're living with.

Eclectic therapy means that I incorporate interventions and techniques from many different types of treatment orientations. I believe that each client needs individualized treatment and do not use a single orientation for this reason. I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness and self-compassion based therapy.

I believe that in Counseling it is not one size fits all. Most of my clients come in needing a level of listening, problem solving, and tools development but how that manifests is not cookie cutter.

With diverse training and experience in various therapeutic modalities, I've developed a unique and personalized approach to address individual client needs. Drawing from many techniques and effective approaches, I tailor my methods to best suit each client's specific concerns and goals. This allows for a comprehensive and holistic treatment approach that maximizes the potential for positive change and growth. I offer a versatile and adaptive approach to support clients in their journey.

I embrace Eclectic Therapy as a dynamic tool for personalized healing. Recognizing that each individual is unique, I draw from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet specific needs. This flexible approach allows me to integrate elements from cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and humanistic therapies.

I use eclectic therapy to discover and implement the most effective treatment for each individual. Instead of following any defined structure, eclectic therapy pulls from various therapy techniques to treat each person as a unique individual.

Treatment is not a one-size-fits all approach, so by using an eclectic approach and utilizing the most fitting tools from other modalities, an appropriate treatment plan can be established.
